really big tree

about 6:30am on Sunday morning i was startled awake by a loud crash. i of course jumped up to see what it was and the big tree in our backyard had crashed to the ground. apparently some disease had weakened the largest branch and it just gave way. it was such a God thing that it happened in the early morning. the kids are always playing under that tree. its also a God thing that it didn't hit the house or come through the living room window. Freddie was sleeping in the livingroom and could have been hurt. its amazing how God protects us even when we are sleeping.

the only damage was it pulled down the phone and cable lines. so we have been without internet and phone for almost 3 days.....i'm gonna have alot of blogs to catch up on and the cable gets hooked up on friday. the kids are so sad :(
